Bearing failure is one of the most common causes of unplanned machine breakdown in industrial plants. Detecting these faults before they lead to a total system crash is essential for cost-effective maintenance. As a professional vibration sensor manufacturer, Kehao Automation provides high-precision sensing solutions specifically designed for real-time bearing health analysis
Unlike general machine imbalance, bearing defects—such as inner race cracks or ball pitting—generate unique, high-frequency "impact spikes." To capture these, a sensor must have a broad frequency response (typically up to 10kHz or higher). By monitoring Acceleration (g) rather than just Velocity, engineers can identify the earliest stages of metal-to-metal contact, long before any heat or noise is detectable by human senses.
When setting up a vibration monitoring system for bearings, focus on these three indicators:
-
RMS Acceleration: Indicates the overall energy of the vibration, useful for tracking general wear.
-
Peak-to-Peak Values: Excellent for spotting severe impacts or loose components.
-
Crest Factor: A critical ratio that helps distinguish between normal running noise and early-stage bearing damage.
Kehao's industrial sensors are built to withstand the harshest bearing environments:
High-Speed Spindles: Requiring ultra-stable sensors for precision machining.
Heavy-Duty Conveyors: Monitoring large roller bearings in mining and cement plants.
Wind Turbine Gearboxes: Using vibration sensors to track bearing health in remote, hard-to-reach locations.
Investing in high-quality monitoring today saves thousands in repair costs tomorrow. Whether you are dealing with ball bearings, sleeve bearings, or tapered rollers, the right data makes the difference.
